Betty Woods’ debut novel weaves a story with lies, deceit, danger, adventure, and love. Romance and family relations add tension to the challenges faced as cattle are driven from Texas through Oklahoma Indian territory into Kansas. Set in 1869, this well-researched story gives the reader accurate insight into the rigors of getting cattle to market. Add characters with conflicted emotions and Love’s Twisted Trail lives up to its title. Will faith in God and true love bring everyone together in the end? An enjoyable read that keeps you turning the pages. ~ Marilyn Eudaly
